The 2nd of each month is my day to post on the Pink Paislee blog and if our day lands on a Friday, we are to do a project that has to do with journaling. I'll admit, I'm not the best at journaling. So, after playing around with the journaling spots, I decided to come up with an alternative use for them! I used it as a photo matte on my layout.
Lately, I've been really loving to do all different size of pics! I really enjoy having a photo printer at home. I use Photoshop CS2 to resize the photos I want to use, then open up a new document that is 4x6" and move all my photos to that new document. Then I can print a ton of little photos on a small sheet of photo paper. If you don't have a printer at home, you could certainly use wallet size photos on these journaling spots too.
Have I told you how much I LOVE this line? This is the Amber Road line of papers, rub ons, die cuts, postcards (journaling spots), brads, and the Expressions chipboard. Seriously, one of my all time favorites by Pink Paislee. Anything red and I'm hooked!
In other news, tomorrow is World Card Making Day! I was asked by a Brazilian scrapbooking forum to host a little card challenge for their site. The site is called ScrapbookBrasil.com if you speak Espanol un poco and would like to visit! (I'm not very fluent in it anymore!)My challenge is to create a card using spray ink, mist, or paint somewhere on your card, and I put together a couple of samples...
I used Melissa Frances fall chipboard, rub ons, patterned paper, and resin pieces on these. The cat was sprayed with Graphite Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels and the tree was just painted black with acrylic paint. I quickly brushed paint on the background of a Worldwin card base so the rub on would show up better. On the Boo card, I sprayed over the Boo chipboard with the same mist, and then added a rub on over the top. It's very shiny in real life!I hope you get time to make something for World Card Making Day! I appreciate your sweet comments~ thanks for stopping by,
